3A. Dive Deeper into the New Deal

You've now gotten a bit of an idea of what the New Deal is all about. The time has come for you to explain to us just what it did to help Americans in the 1930's.

What you are going to do is show me that you understand how New Deal programs helped to improve the economy.

Objective: Show me that you know how a program improves an economy or prevents an economy's collapse. Show me that you know how an economy works.

To start the project, you must pick one New Deal program.

FDIC-Federal Depository Insurance Corporation

FTC-Federal Trade Commission

SEC-Securities and Exchange Commission

CCC-Civilian Conservation Corp

WPA-Works Progress Administration (Hoover Dam Project)

Bank Holiday-Closing Banks for a time during the Depression

Social Security-Money for retirees

ETC.

I recommend you try to accomplish these two things

1. Tell us what your chosen program does/did for people.

2. Tell us HOW your chosen program helped people or help improve the economy.

Remember, you will LIKELY need to do a little research, meaning use a little Google and read, or use Youtube and find a video that explains it. The amount of research will depend on how quickly you FULLY understand your program.
